Winemaker Notes Château Bégadan is the fruit of the labors of Jean-Pierre and Martine Salette, the owners since 1974 of a few hectares of vines in the village of the same name. The terroir in which these vines are planted yields superbly powerful wines with an excellent bouquet. Traditional wine making methods and ageing in oak complement the natural qualities of the wine to the greatest satisfaction of the proprietors and their discerning customers. Note that over the past ten years, the wines of Château Bégadan have won medals in various competitions, notably in Bordeaux and Mâcon. A Médoc wine from a legendary vintage which should not be opened for 3 years after vintage. The front-of-palate is supported by tannins which are still young and harmoniously enveloped in creamy extract. Goes well with beef, lamb, game, poultry, and blue cheese. Serve at 63 - 65 degrees F.
